​slip away

I love watching
Me slip away
You've forgotten
That you missed me
Every day

I love watching
You go away
But at night
In the mirror I
See your face

I've been thinking lately
That your words cradled me
I remember the first night you cried
And I hope you weren't lying
When you said you were hurting
I hope I wasn't alone that night

I hope you do what I do
And that every morning
We check our phones for replies
And I'm still hoping
For that number calling
It's deleted
But I have it memorized

I know it's not good
To keep craving
You holding on so tight
But I thought I could savе you
Fulfill our promise of "one day"
Now I only see you
Behind my еyes

Please don't
Slip away
Don't slip away
Please don't
Please don't slip away

I wish you would come find me
I wish you would stop chasing
This idea of yourself
Who's somewhere idly walking
While I'm idolizing
This boy who showed me his hell

You disvalue honesty
But were you proud to take me
From a happy soul to a shell
I ask the crowd if you're guilty
You'd die to swear that you're living
Your life and doing well

And I can't watch you
Smiling in those photographs
I put on my top shelf
And I'm still hoping
That it's your voice calling
When I hear my name in a crowd

And I'm doing so good
With my promise that I would
Stop holding on so tight
But I write with the ocean
And I sing to daisies
And I still want you tonight

Please don't
Slip away
Don't slip away
Please don't
Please don't slip away

I wake up still hearing
The sound of your voice breaking
And every song tainted by you and me
And I miss the midnight fall wind
Stood next to you at dusk and
September never used to mean this much to me

Please don't
Slip away
Don't slip away
Please don't
Please don't slip away

September never used to mean so much to me
